What Brendan's Dad said.
The more accurate you are, the less chance of wounded game, and a better chance for filling your tags. It's definitely not a substitute for practice.
When I'm in my tree stand I'll range a few trees to get an idea of what pins I need to use. That way I'm not pulling out my range finder in the heat of the moment, or making a guess at yardage because I don't want to move. This is far more accurate than what I do.
The more information you have the better. This is just a tool to get that information faster and with less movement. Just because I know the range, doesn't mean I'll make a farther shot on game just because I can tell how far it is.
